are 6r polo's reliable?

A bit less than a year, just over 11000km and no issues other than some oil consumption, which is hardly excessive (so far it's looking like I'll need to top up at around 5000km on average but still early days yet).

Car is great to drive, practical, looks good, interior looks and feels very classy for a micro-car. Happy so far, time will tell with respect to things like clutch life.

23 000km and no issues on my MY13.5 Polo GTI

52000km 2010 Polo 77tsi

No issues, love the styling and peppiness of the 1.2 turbo. Torquey little hatch.

DSG jerkiness and throttle lag is the only annoying thing I feel. Oh and the fuel line rattle.

Just noticed you have a tsi on order. My next door neighbour has an 18 month old tsi and he is very pleased with it.

Yes mine comes in end of next week. I have just been scared off by some of the people I've seen complain about all the issues I've seen.

Stop worrying, buying a new car is exciting and fun, enjoy that, deal with issues if any when they appear

don't let bad experiences by others ruin this experience for you

No doubt some people have had issues but there are also lots of happy owners. Most people will come on to complain or sort out their problems rather than report that everything is good.

Maybe the Polo guys need to start up a new thread (assuming it isn't already buried somewhere I've missed it) like the Mk6 Golfers did: http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...ead-69908.html

I've done just under 40k in my TSi and couldn't be happier with it.

Agree with others on here: Classy, good looking, plenty of get up and go when you need it, and I'm averaging 5.7l/100km. Expensive servicing the only downside.
